FAQs

Find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below.

How are children and families referred to your programs?CCP currently serves children (age 18 and under) who reside throughout South Carolina and North Carolina and their families. The majority of our referrals come through hospitals across the Carolinas. However, many families who are aware of CCP contact us directly if they have a child that has been diagnosed with cancer. Since our founding in 2001 we have served hundreds of children and their families.

Is there a time limit on how long a child or family may be served?CCP is committed to serving the whole family throughout their entire journey with childhood cancer. We serve each child and their family from the time they are diagnosed until they reach the age of 18.

What kind of support to you provide?
With so few pediatric oncology treatment centers, frequent and distant treatment travel costs are burdensome, especially for rural and low-income families. CCP provides assistance for treatment travel, meals and lodging. This may be limited to auto mileage assistance and meals away from home for those traveling locally, or airfare, hotels and meals for specialized treatments in distant cities. We work with each family individually to understand any and all potential hardships that might interfere with timely treatment.
